Last night's prime rib. I tried my best to eliminate the tan banding but my strategic techniques to do so failed. Didn't matter much it was still outstanding. All 3 of my kids said it was better than brisket...I wouldn't go that far. Pulled off at 130. Sides we mashed gold taters, garlic-sauteed fresh green beans and asparagus. We decanted a bottle of Michigan red that I'd been saving for several years, it was a wonderful dinner.
Makin me hungry, as I sit here in my work truck, eatin!
Extry Bonus Points, beyond aforementioned, fer th bacon....
I could easily eat myself into a food (an Modelo) coma, were I sittin right there.
Makin chili either tonight, or Wednesday...Scratchbuilt, no cheats chili: smoked Dino ribs, Rancho Gordo pintos, smoked veggies, my own chili powder, etc., usw.., yada yada

Smoked meatballs. Beef, Italian sausage and ricotta cheese meatballs, smoked on the PBC and then finished in a tomato sauce. No finished product but served it in crusty bread with provolone cheese and some homemade pickled Fresno chiles.
That is fantastic. My wife mashes and bakes. My daughter and I always fight with her over the extras. We like cream cheese, cheddar, garlic and green onions. The wife likes things much more simple. We win, most of the time. I like the shallow dish treatment. I’m going to try that.

Last nights dinner. Mary’s chicken from Whole Foods and Alaskan Spot prawns from Sitka. Not the prettiest but Dang delicious. Not really a shrimp fan but I got a whole freezer full.
Just like turkey is served at Thanksgiving in the US, we have Christmas ham in Sweden. It is a regular ham, most often boiled for a few hours. The bouillon left in the pan is then used to dip bread in. BUT: I smoke my hams. Yesterday it was time to smoke a Christmas ham. I bought a deboned ham, removed the rubber net that holds it together and replaced it with butcher's twine. Call me old school, but it looks better, and more authentic.
This ham was pre-brined, so I just added my KC Royale rub and smoked it for approx. 3 hours with oak wood. It is done when the inner temp hits 65° C / 149° F. I remove it and let it cool off for an hour. Then it's time for the crust. Mix eggs, mustard and bread crumbs (2 eggs, 6 tbsp mustard, 6 tbsp bread crumbs) and spread it evenly all over. Bake it in the oven for 15 minutes at 225° C / 440° F. That gives you a tasty crust.
Easy peasy! And tasty! I posted this in the pit a few years back, and if I recall Jerod Broussard was one of the first takers, and he seems to have liked it.
The raw ham, trussed and rubbed
Ham on the grill/smoker, done
The ham, with that crust applied relatively evenly
And here's the final result. Start slicing, will ya!
Looks gorgeous, Heinrik, as always. I did a shoulder for slicing a couple of weeks ago, and it was very delicious and ham-like. Just saying that pulled pork and ribs aren't the only pork games in town.

Nothing really made, just steamed. Used my Bayou Classic pot that I use for Crawfish to steam up some King crab legs for the family. A lot of room in that big old pot, but only pot I had to fit the legs since their so long. Daughter made some dipping butter with Old Bay and Cajun seasoning. It was pretty good.
I made some rolls today using King Arthur Flour's Japanese Milk Bread recipe. They look great and taste great too. I told my wife I'd fix spaghetti for her and I'd have rolls and butter for dinner. That didn't go over too well... So I'm having spaghetti too.
This recipe is our take on Japan's Hokkaido milk bread, a loaf so light it's often described as feathery. The technique to make it involves pre-cooking some of the flour and milk into a soft paste called tangzhong. (See "tips," below to learn more about its origins.) This simple step yields a loaf that’s tender, moist, and stays fresh longer than loaves prepared the standard way.
Not really cooking. Here is where old Weber kettles can go and still be of great value. This was my first Weber, circa 1980, and it gave up the ghost about 10 years ago and I replaced it with another circa 1980 shortly thereafter. Did not want to throw it out since it had such sentimental value, but it had basically corroded around the legs and thus I made it into a planter. The bottom vents are good drainage holes. I just repotted the plant that was in it due to the plant out growing this Weber. Now a small "Wheeler's Dwarf" has found a new home. It will grow into a small bush that flowers in the spring and the flowers smell like orange blossoms.
I swear I’m showing this to my wife. When she made me take the five old COS’ and Weber to the dumps I really didn’t want to do it. I told her they would make great planters. She laughed. With this photo, who will be laughing now?
